Welcome to the Loco Station Fixer v1.2 readme file!


The latest version can always be found at the following locations:

    www.jerweb.nl/downloads/LocoStationFixer


========== USAGE ===========================================

Follow these simple steps to use Loco Station Fixer:
 1. Double-click 'Loco Station Fixer.jar'. Loco Station Fixer should open with
    the message 'Looking for game...'.
 2. Start up Locomotion. Loco Station Fixer will automatically detect this and
    patch your game.
 3. If you close the game, or use ALT + TAB to switch back to the Loco Station
    Fixer window, it should read "Game patched" now.


========== NOTES ===========================================

- If you close Locomotion and then start the game again, you must also re-start
  Loco Station Fixer to patch again. The patch does not survive game restarts.
- It is also possible to start Loco Station Fixer while the game is already
  running.
- If Loco Station Fixer patches the game slowly and displays the message 'Scan
  found address 0xXXXXXX', please report the address number. This happens
  because you have a version of Locomotion that Loco Station Fixer doesn't know.
  It will then perform a rather slow scan for the code that needs to be patched.


========== HINTS AND TIPS ==================================

To create a shortcut that starts Loco Station Fixer and Locomotion in one click,
perform the following steps:
 1. Start Notepad (Windows 7 users may right-click the button of this window on
    the Task Bar and choose 'Notepad' to open a blank window).
 2. Copy and paste the following 4 lines into the blank document:

	@echo off
	start "LSF" "C:\Downloads\LocoStationFixer\Locomotion Station Fixer.jar"
	timeout /nobreak /t 2 > NUL
	start "Loco" "C:\Program Files\Chris Sawyer's Locomotion\Loco.exe"

 3. Change the file paths so that they point to where Loco Station Fixer and
    Locomotion are located on your computer.
 4. Choose 'File' -> 'Save As...'
 5. Set the 'File type' to 'All files (*.*)'.
 6. Browse to the location where you want the shortcut to be created.
 7. In the 'File name' field, type in the shortcut name of your choice.
    IMPORTANT: end your name in '.bat' (excluding the quotes)!
 8. Save the file.

Now, run the .bat file to start Loco Station Fixer and Locomotion together!


========== SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS =============================

Loco Station Fixer is written in Java 32-bits. If you can't open .jar files, get
the latest (32-bits) version of Java from www.java.com.
